Over eighty works, including large-scale installations, multi-channel video works, photography, painting, and sculpture, drawn from HOTA’s vibrant and diverse City Collection, are on view in the gallery’s inaugural summer exhibition, Art Mixtape: Yours for Summer.
From retro-infused moments, enchanting other-worldly scenes, streaks of mythology and pop culture, and nods to the spirit of a Gold Coast summer – bold, often beautiful, and with a touch of cheekiness to be enjoyed by all. From confessions of unrequited love to sharing the music that raised us, the humble mixtape has been the versatile vehicle of some of life’s major moments. Art Mixtape: Yours for Summer takes this lead and is a mashup of memories of summers past and of the art that speaks to us today.
Artists include Tracey Moffatt, Kathy Temin, Justene Williams, Sam Jinks, Soda Jerk, Ramesh Mario Nithiyendran, Reuben Paterson, Daniel McKewen, Sally Gabori, Shaun Gladwell, and Vernon Ah Kee, among others.
“Art Mixtape is a gallery full of the things we love – some adventurous and some surprising.” – Tracy Cooper-Lavery, Director, Gallery and Visual Arts, HOTA.
